about

This is a collection of songs written by me in several different bands (The Genius Eyes, Cobra Kai Dojo, The Disband, Wring) over a decade or so from 1996.

In those bands, many of the tracks were dressed in screaming distortion, massive electronic beats, or complex instrumentation (or all these things).

In a three week period in the winter of 2010-2011, I recorded these tracks alone with some very different rules:

(1) No other instruments but my voice and my acoustic guitar.
(2) One mic only, for both acoustic guitar and vocals.
(3) Three takes of each song. I then picked the best of them and did nothing to improve it.

So this is a lo-fi recording (for a change), and proud of it.

It was also the last recording I did in the big room in my loft in Lynn, MA, where so much music was made.
